Heritage Cirqa for schools

Never has the school resource centre/library been challenged by circumstances as it is now! Reductions in staffing, changing user behaviours, modes of access and increasing doubts amongst decision-makers about the place of the library in the 21st century, all feed the general sense of disquiet. In such a climate it is vital that a library resource management system is flexible enough to meet the needs of professionally qualified and unqualified library staff alike. It is also important that the system automates as much of the administrative process as possible to offset the reduced hours and staffing skills imposed on school libraries. It is also very helpful if the system can bring to play, vital statistics and information to support the case for the library as an ongoing essential resource for learning. Heritage Cirqa has the following three key attributes in abundance:

1. User-friendly – logically organised, simple and uncluttered screens. Functionality that is powerful but doesn’t get in the way when you don’t need it.
2. Flexible in approach – allowing commonly performed tasks to be scheduled to happen automatically
3. Affordable – sensibly priced (our schools pricing has barely changed in ten years) and available to purchase or subscribe to via different mechanisms.
4. Reports – available on just about anything you can think of (and things you might not too).
